Off-line laptop cannot run software (runs on other off-line computers)
I recently retired my older HP Pavilion Windows 10 (Version 22H2) laptop from internet use (replacing it with an AIO), and I would like to run a proprietary program on the (now off-line) laptop. The program is written in C++ and runs very well on both an off-line Windows 7 desktop and an off-line one year old Windows 10 desktop. When I say "off-line" for the Windows 10 computers, I mean they are in "airplane" mode with the internet adapter "disabled". The Windows 7 computer has no internet cable connected to it (and no wireless capability). Any attempt to run this software on the HP Pavilion laptop results in a message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
I am the only user (and the only account) on the laptop and it shows that I am an "Administrator" and have a "local account". How do I get the laptop to run the program? Is there some obscure bit that I must change somewhere? Is there already a procedure listing the steps I must perform?
Regards,
